Inverter Turbo Defrost Adds a Little Cooking Boost Panasonic has succeeded in evolving Turbo Defrost™, which allows you to defrost foods even faster than previous Panasonic Auto Defrost. Panasonic Inverter Turbo Defrost technology is an advanced microwave sequencing system using the Inverter low-power delivery feature.

This design makes it possible to distribute microwave energy with the most appropriate combination of regularity and irregularity.

I bought this oven to be part of a complete kitchen renovation. I was after something large, easy-to-use, and capable of being built into a cabinet. All of these qualities are present in this unit. I did buy the Panasonic kit to enhance the installation, and have posted a photo of the installed unit with the kit.

I was surprised at the power of the unit, and learned very quickly that Sensor reheating takes all the guesswork out of re-heating leftovers. In the same vein, the defrost cycle is very efficient...defrosting frozen meat quickly without cooking it.

All-in-all, this Panasonic microwave has been a great experience.

Had one for about a year and a half (go figure), now, like other review comments, the door switch won't allow it to run unless you slam the door. I've either got to pay a hefty price to get it repaired or junk it. I've always been happy with Panasonic stuff before, but feel I got a built-in service bill on this unit! Planned obsolescence? These should be recalled and fixed!

I have another that is 3 years older and I love this model. However, after the third delivery, I still notice that the door doesn't close as tight as my original and the inside housing has seams that don't quite meet at the top left. My first microwave developed fog between the door glass that was inaccessible.ABT was very efficient at replacing these appliances for the issues.

Service and delivery comments:

There was only a problem on the second delivery because the warehouse was trying to protect it from damage, but packed it on it's end, which jarred the door even more.

Display and controls take a little time to get used to. Sensor cooking table on MW inside of door for convenience. Excellent at sensor heating. Was a little disappointed at defrosting. Lots of room. And this is just me, with the quick minute button, you still have to hit start. I would assume that one just hits the button and it would start, but no it is two buttons, so not so quick. I also wish it was a 30 sec vs minute button. And just a personal issue that my wife actually likes, the notifying buzzer beeps about 5-6 times, and is not very loud. Our old MW was loud and kept beeping for an extended period of time.

Would definitely recommend this unit to folks.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery ahead of schedule. Ships in the Panny microwave box so if you dont want someone to know what is in the box, sorry charlie.

Like apparently every other consumer who trusted the Panasonic brand, I have a broken door latch and a non functioning microwave after a few short years. Hoping Panasonic will offer to remedy its design shortcomings. No one budgets for having to replace a basic core kitchen appliance which has had light use every 4 years....
